Thirteen girls with grade III-V vesicoureteric reflux were treated by endoscopic injection of Teflon paste behind the intravesical ureter. Fourteen of the 18 treated ureters showed complete absence of reflux after one injection of Teflon. Three ureters required a second injection of Teflon for successful treatment of the reflux. One ureter with grade IV reflux was converted to grade II reflux. Properly carried out, this procedure corrects reflux. It takes less than 15 minutes, may be done as a day procedure, and avoids open surgery. There have been no complications. (Reprinted with permission from Br Med J, 289: 7-9, 1984)

Article Synopsis
- Microdiscectomy is a common surgical method for treating lumbar disc herniation, but issues like postoperative epidural fibrosis can hinder recovery.
- The ligamentum flavum flap technique, which preserves the ligamentum flavum, reduces this fibrosis and improves long-term outcomes.
- The surgical procedure involves exposing the L5-S1 interlaminar space, creating a flap from the ligamentum flavum, performing discectomy, and then repositioning the flap to minimize scarring.
1-(o-Tolyl)thiourea-based deep eutectic solvent as a stationary phase in flow injection analysis system for mercury and copper determination in edible oils.

In this work, a novel deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of thymol and 1-(o Tolyl)thiourea 9/1 (mol) is presented for the first time. This DES has not been described in the literature. This DES was first used as a stationary phase in an extraction column integrated into a flow injection analysis system for the simultaneous determination of mercury and copper in edible oils.

Soft robots typically involve manual assembly of core hardware components like actuators, sensors, and controllers. This increases fabrication time and reduces consistency, especially in small-scale soft robots. We present a scalable monolithic fabrication method for millimeter-scale soft-rigid hybrid robots, simplifying the integration of core hardware components.

With the increasing focus on triboelectric-based sensors, research on synthesizing dielectric layers from specific substances is gradually emerging. Despite numerous negatively-charged triboelectric materials, there is a scarcity of synthesizable positively-charged materials, creating a research gap. This study demonstrates the molecular design of a conjugated, mesoporous, self-assembled sheet via bottom-up synthesis.
